Four of the bonus tracks were totally new and one was a new arrangement and recording of "Mental Retard" (from the '' Storm the Streets'' album). Although the reissue was advertised as having re-recorded vocals, Ben Weasel has stated that this is not correct. The lyrics to the song "Last Stop Tokyo" are printed on the back of the CD insert and was the first time that the Riverdales released any lyrics to the public.

Pop Punk
Pop punk (or punk pop) is a rock music genre that combines elements of punk rock with power pop or pop. It is defined for its emphasis on classic pop songcraft, as well as adolescent and anti-suburbia themes, and is distinguished from other punk-variant genres by drawing more heavily from 1960s bands such as the Beatles, the Kinks, and the Beach Boys. The genre has evolved throughout its history, absorbing elements from new wave, college rock, ska, rap, emo, and boy bands. It is sometimes considered interchangeable with power pop and skate punk. Pop punk emerged in the late 1970s with groups such as the Ramones, the Undertones, and the Buzzcocks. 1980s punk bands like Bad Religion, Descendents and the Misfits were influential to pop punk, and it expanded in the 1980s and early 1990s by a host of bands signed to Lookout! Records, including Screeching Weasel, the Queers, and the Mr. T Experience. In the mid–late 1990s, the genre saw a massive widespread popularity increase w ...

Storm The Streets
''Storm the Streets'' is the second studio album by the American punk rock band the Riverdales. After a dispute with Lookout! Records, the band signed to Honest Don's Records for this release. It is the only Riverdales album still available from its original label. In the liner notes to Screeching Weasel's ''Thank You Very Little'', Ben Weasel refers to ''Storm the Streets'' as a "gem" but admits that the record sold far less than its predecessor, ''Riverdales''. The band broke up after the album's release until they reunited in 2003 to record and release '' Phase Three''.

The album was mixed from February 24–27, 1997 by Mass Giorgini at Sonic Iguana Studios in Lafayette, Indiana. ''Storm the Streets'' was remastered and reissue ...

Invasion U
An invasion is a military offensive in which large numbers of combatants of one geopolitical entity aggressively enter territory owned by another such entity, generally with the objective of either: conquering; liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory; forcing the partition of a country; altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government; or a combination thereof. An invasion can be the cause of a war, be a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in itself. Due to the large scale of the operations associated with invasions, they are usually strategic in planning and execution. History Archaeological evidence indicates that invasions have been frequent occurrences since prehistory. In antiquity, before radio communications and fast transportation, the only way for a military to ensure adequate reinforcements was to move armies as one massive force. This, by its very nature, led to the s ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
